   May 17, 2022 · Benediction: Terence Davies’ Siegfried Sassoon portrait is a film of waning power. Davies’ second consecutive portrait of a poet, with Jack Lowden and Peter Capaldi taking turns as the war veteran, has moments of tender power, but doesn’t reach into the heart of his art.

   What makes benediction a good movie?

   • “Benediction” bears the distinctive stamp of its writer/director, Terence Davies, a man whose films feel more like poetic meditations on moods, emotions, and events than straightforward narratives.

   What is a benediction based on?

   • This is one of Davies’ best films, as equally detached as his earlier work yet brimming with emotions that are a little closer to the surface than we expect from him. It’s interesting that he named this film “Benediction.” Webster’s describes a benediction as a Catholic sacrament, but also as the last prayer of a religious service.

   What are the highlights of benediction?

   • The film’s highlights are all in its first half. Opening in 1914, with a confident pan down the front of a theatre, Benediction begins at the London premiere of The Rite of Spring, as Lowden’s voiceover quotes Concert-Interpretation, Sassoon’s poetic response to Stravinsky’s piece.

   Is benediction a melodrama?

   • In “Benediction,” Davies turns Sassoon’s life into a self-conscious Hollywood melodrama, a grand historical tale that makes its very historicity its subject—and a story of memory that reflects history in an original form. Befitting a movie about a great writer, “Benediction” is a film of copious and brilliant dialogue.

   When did benediction start and end?

   • Sassoon lived from 1886 to 1967, and was already a writer of note by the time that the First World War began. The story in “Benediction” begins in 1914 and ends in the nineteen-sixties, and its framework is chronological, though the movie is filled with audacious leaps in time, both ahead and back.

   Who plays Siegfried Sassoon in 'benediction'?

   • But it’s an especially apt summation of Benediction, which depicts a quest for personal salvation that remains unfulfilled. Jack Lowden and Peter Capaldi play WWI English poet Siegfried Sassoon in his younger years and old age in 'Benediction,' a melancholy bio-drama.
